I went to read the article and it had a photo of a typical New Jersey beach, covered with trash (not microfibers in any sense of the word). Plastic bottles, trash bags, wood from old crates, oily mess, and so on - but no images of microfibers.

Sensationalist? Biased? Ridiculously inflammatory? Nonfactual? Why should I even bother reading the article if the photo accompanying the article is a blatant fraud?

Gotta cover up that the leading authority on global warming, the Anglican whatever in Great Britain, announced that there has been NO GLOBAL WARMING for 15 YEARS!!!

For 15 YEARS, progressives. 15. Years. Sorta like we conservatives told you. 15. Years.

AND, we are about to enter a mini-ice age, they announced. Wanna know why? Because the sun is entering a cooling cycle. LIKE WE TOLD YOU!

15 years!!

15.

Do you get it yet! It was all a scam! All of it. The hockey sticks, and Algore, and polar bears, and reindeer. ALL OF IT!

Ps. The Anglican whatever also announced that even though there has been no GW for 15 years, that didn't mean that we didn't have AGW. They just couldn't prove it. Just give them some more money to study it, and they'll call you. Next Tuesday...plus 15 years.(I am not making this part up)

Now that AGW has begun its long, slow death another fashionable worry has gained the limelight. (Didn't just have to?) This time it's a worry with benefits for the worrisome lot, you know, the fashionista kind. Look for it very soon. At your next faculty dinner party be on the lookout for the type ... you know, the bony, nervous chick with the out-of-season tan. She'll be either a lecturer in "Women's Studies" or some nondescript hanger on in the the English Department. She'll be boasting of about her organic fiber ensemble. "It's the only environmentally responsible choice, dontcha know?" will be on her lips between sips of Cuvee Beerenauslese.

Next the big house designers will roll out their Earth-friendly creations, and the runway models will add righteous indignation to their strut.

This will also benefit the poor ole cotton choppin' South, which as the ideal climate for that superior short staple fiber. Maybe Obama can make a new career on some re-invigorated plantation after he vacates 1600 Penn. Avenue next January.

You must mean the Climate Unit (Cor, Blimey! The nerd what thought up that terminology was likely a Doctor Who fan, eh?) at the University of East Anglia. The Anglicans have also got their fat saggy High Church arses stuck in the AGW muck, but not to the same extent.
